Enjoy free family fun, live music, kids’ activities, stand-up paddle boarding, informational booths and food vendors, all focused on celebrating and appreciating our Great Lake. Prior to the main event, North Shore Stand Up Paddleboarding will host the 5th annual Paddle for the People 4K recreational paddle race around Barker’s Island. The race is free and begins at 10 a.m. with mandatory check-in from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Participants may register online at duluthsup.com. Registration is limited. Free SUP demonstrations are available from noon to 3 p.m. An online waiver must be submitted prior to paddling. Music performances start at 11 a.m. with Hodag and Hooch, a local band sharing harmonies from the back seat of a car rolling down the fast lane of the 70s with plenty of detours to the sweet songs before and beyond. Woodblind, an acoustic ska duo, will perform at 1 p.m.
